Monograph of Sigmar Polke's work. Edited by Gloria Moure. "Starting from the profane material of everyday culture, Polke interprets images of reality rather than reality itself, satirizes tendencies in contemporary painting, questions the role of the artist as author, breaks down the trivial visual worlds of media photography, and always, but always, takes off on the most magnificent flights of imagination. This publication...includes a number of works never before published." -- publisher's statement.
